Just a thought..

A Christian is like a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in & washes the dirt off. Opens you up, touches you deep inside & scoops all the yucky stuff out, removes all seeds of doubt, anger, hate, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face & puts his light in you to shine for all the world to see!!

So for my husband's birthday (10/19/2009) we went to a gun range!!! I was really excited to go, but once we got there I realized...the reality...I was about to shoot a gun!!! I had never done that before!! I had never even held a gun before. Neither had my husband!!! So we were nervous but excited! I shot a 22 caliber revolver and another gun, but the strongest gun I shot was a 40 cal glock!! Wow that was scary, it was so powerful I only shot 3 rounds and then I was done! It was sort of an adrenaline rush...lol. My husband really enjoyed it and I was so happy that he loved his surprise!!

What if....

SO last week I got the chance to see Erwin McManus preach live. I have heard his preachings on cd and read his books. Which have inspired me to no end!! He is an amazing writer and definitely inspired by God!! He was speaking at SouthEastern University and I went to see him... As soon as we got there the atmosphere was amazing...there was a thick cloud of the presences of God in that building...there is no denying that. They had prayer stations set up around the building and you could go up nail your thoughts, prayers & dreams to the cross...they had basins to cleanse your hands as symbolism of cleansing from sin and they had communion stations....During worship at various points people would randomly go up and take communion and wash their hands. It was a beautiful atmosphere of worship full of God's presence. THere were posters up outside so you could write your dreams on them & areas for journaling....Amazing! I was so glad to be a part of this worship session :)

New Stage in Life

So I finally did it!! I have contemplated it over and over again and thought of the risks and sacrifice but I did it! I started school about 3 weeks ago!
I am currently a Master's degree student at Liberty University!! I will be very dedicated to my studies over the next year but by next December I should have Master's degree in counseling. YAY!!

It is so exciting & yet scary at the same time. I took a leap towards my future goals and dreams and I know that I will never regret this!
I am so honored to have the privilege to go back to school and I am confident that now is the only time for me to do this! So I am launching into the deep hoping God will act in my favor!
So many people never get this chance but I jumped on it! All odds in my favor!! WOO HOOO!
